Alexander Sparrow: How To Pick Up Women

How To Pick Up Women, a world class
seminar on seduction, will be premiering as part of the 2014
New Zealand Fringe Festival and performed from 5-8 February
at Fringe Bar, Allen Street. Alexander Sparrow - writer and
comedian - will embody the minds of the world's five
greatest pick up artists and guarantees the complete
transformation from even the worst AFC (average frustrated
chump), into a seduction guru.

Sparrow says, "These guys
have been everywhere and done everyone. Whether you're a man
or a woman after a laugh, or if you’re planning to sit at
the back and take notes, you’re ready for action”. A
comedian and writer on the Wellington circuit, Sparrow's
show is going to be an orgy of energetic stand up comedy,
theatre, and motivational speaking - perfect for a couple
wanting a night out, or the lonely guy wanting a few tips.
"Come alone, and leave for a threesome. Or a foursome. I can
make that happen."

Less a seminar and more a writhing pit
of sexual energy, this is going to be one hilarious show.
Meet the forty year old ‘wallflower’, the one man magic
show, the meathead and more. They may not look like experts,
but they know what to do.
